BLADDER DISORDERS: a aD !

GenDULtl OlVOelDEIlVsa n Il
other high medical authorities say
that most of the bladder diseases
originate Nth false action of
the Kidneys, and urinary tract.
Uric acid constantly coursing through
these organs inflames and eventually
destroys the inner membrane, pro-
ducing the intense suffering.
Sometimes this kidney acid s0lidi-
1ies in the kidney in the form of
Gravel, which in its descent to the
bladder produces Kidney collie.
Sometimes the acid solidifies in the
Bladder, producing caicuIOus or
Stone. " Warmers SAFE

G0NGF0TInN.. e CONGESTION is ss a
gether OF blood in any one place. If
there is loss of nervous action in any
organ the blood vessels do not allow
the blood to circulate and it stag

long the collecting blood clots and
eventually destroys the organ.
Many persons are unconscious vic
tins of this very common con-
dition. The heart, determined as
it is TO force blood into every part of
the system, has to work harder to
get it through the cloggcd organ, and
eventually the Heart breaks

Congestion has become chronic

A Persian Apology.

A prominent official at Tabreez, in
the course of an alteration with an
English gentleman, called his adver-
sary liar. The result was challenge,
which seemed to the Persian prepos-
ferrous.
II tight!' said he; awhat shall I fight
for? only called him liar, and now
he wants me to fight him; never was
anything more absurd!"
"Well, said the gentleman who took
the note to him, "he says you will have
to fight him: there is no way of getting
out of it. It will never do to call an
English gentleman liar
"But I say won't fight, replied the
other.
"Then you must apologize"
"Apologize What does he mean by
apologizing?'
why, take it all back and say that
you are sorry you called him liar
that is what it means"
as that alp" replied the Persian.
"Oi course I'll apologize; I'll say what
ever he wishes me to say. lied when I
called him liar. am liar, the son
of liar, and the grandson of liars.
What more does he want me to say?"-

Writing for the Magazines.

Writer'S are much better paid than
they used to be-the rate varying from
SO to 500, sometimes $50, per 1000
words, the hight st figures being those
of the two monthlies. But even these
scarcely allure writer, who must de-
pend on other work to earn liveli-
hood. Contributing to magazines is q
narrow field OF best, and he who is in
dustrious W II be likely to I'LL his posi-
ton for q year in month. The man
or woman who shall produce ten OF
twelve articles year, and get them
published. would seem to get eternally
in print, and would suffer in conse-
quence from reputation for NINETY.
Writing for the magazines is sometimes
spoken of as q trade; it may he pro-
fession; it can hardly be q practice.
One might as we'll talk of picking up
gold eagles fol living. The majority
of persons have never picked up n
single eagle, and never will. To the
ma ,ority Of writer's: Do not write for
q magazine if you wish to avoid losing
money; never publish o magazine; if
you c..re to make money, never write
for one.-Ja41aia4s Henri RroaV1s.

Women and Literature.

Women have gone largely into jour
halism, and with much success; but it
must be remembered that journalism is
not literature, though it belongs to tho
same genus, and may be quite as inn
portant. Journalism u.s.. to literature,
to use a culinary comparison, as are
breakfast griddle cakes to the loaf of
bread. The former are to be eaten
hot, OF not at ell. while the bread only
improves by day or two's keeping.
The same cook may happen to excel
in both, but it is combination of two
different gifts, and cannot safely be
counted on. The department in which
one may next hope for an advance
among the graduates of our women's
colleges is in what may be called tho
art Of intellectual bread-making-the
production OF permanent literature

The Dangerous Condition Of s.shock. -

If an individual receives q severe in

BRAIN, or is crushed or mangled in o
railway accident, or is extensively
burned or scalded the state of "shock"
is brought about The surface becomes
pale and bloodless, there is sickness at
the stomach, dizziness, ringing in the
ears, 1T gets black before the eyes"
the breathing becomes harried and
signing, the pulse quick and feeble,
and if this goes on to greater extremes,
loss of consciousness or even death re-
suits. The blood has left the surface
and the brain and most of it has gravi-
tated to the abdominal cavity. The
effect for the moment is the same rs if
it had left the body by way of severed
artery. AS some one has said, when q
man is killed by "shock" he has "bled
to death into his own veins" When
the blood is thus Withdrawn from the
brain, the heart no longer receives the
ne vous force necessary for it to con-
tinue beating. The lungs are in SIM
liar starved condition and the breath
ing is interfered with or stops alto

A Wedding in Laplana.

Down the room was a long table,
covered with coarse cloth, perhaps, if
for grand folks, but much more likely
in its native barrenness. Upon the ar
rival of the welding party the feast
began. Boiled meat was brought in a
large dish, OF just as likely piled up on
the table till it was full. On the top
OF this came dirty bowls full OF grease.
Round this savory and appetizing re-
past gathered the hungry Lapps,
ravenous rs wolves, and fell upon it
with appet;tes that would astonish any
Western dweller in cultured land.
They came to eat, and they did eat!
Lumps of meat were seized by Natures
forks-fingers as bla k as Goals, inno-
cent of water for unknown periods,
clad in ancient grinle-plunged into
the grease, and then, all luscious and
dripping, conveyed to the cavernous
mouths of the assembled. After this
came the dessert reindeer cheese cut
into pieces. dipped into the grease, and
eaten with horn spoon OF fingers.
Huge draughts of corn brandy washed
all down. Right diligently was the
bottle piled, with eser and anon quatf
from the grease bowls to keep the
brandy from taking too much effect,
the grease leaving its traces on the
drinkers faces, till at last they shone
in Their fatty coating. Now began the

and shouting with all the vigor of pow
erful and healthy lungs. Songs were
improvised, generally senseless, be,

An Ostrich.Race.

I reminded the doctor of promise
he had made to show me foot-race
between two ostriches. We immedi-
ately went to broad, open space be-
tween the ostrich pens and the house.
One of the keepers opened the door of
one of the pens, and. in response to the
doctors cali, two superb ostriches came
running to him. After caressing the
gentle creatures for few moments he
showed them handful of figs, of which
they are extremely fond. Two of his
men then restrained the birds by plac-
ing nooses about their legs, until he
and myself had walked away about a
quarter of mile. Then at signal
from the doctor, the birds were released
and the race began. It was rare,
sight. Ornithologists tell us that the
stride of the ostrich when feeding is
from twenty to twenty-five inches, and
when terrified from eleven and half
to fourteen feet. It seemed to me that
in this race for handful of figs from
their master these gigantic birds COW
cred the last-named instance ct every
stride. Like the wind they came, their
great necks stretched forward and up
ward to their utmost length, and their
wings working. They kept we'll abreast
for nearly half the distance and then
one began to forge ahead. He increased
his lead till within short distance of
us, when he turned his head, and, see
ing that his competitor was consider
ably in the rear, he slackened his pace,
and jogging up to the doctor, received
his reward in figs and caresses. -Ne1o

Floating Islands Of West Africa.

Down the bload, sluggish Old Ca1.-
bar River came slowly to meet us a
long procession of floating islands
(some Of which were of considerable
sizel, formed of wild grass and earth
torn from the soft bank by the current.
These curious waits are quite COM
mon feature in the Lower Congo, and
have occasionally been met with Us far
Ammo BON. This marvel was speedily
supplemented by another and a greater,
viz, the studding OF the roots and
dropping branches along the waters
edge with large-sized oysters. This
certainly sounds like an extract from
the memoirs of Baron Munchausen,
but in reality the phenomenon is very
easily explained. Here. as in many
islands of the Pacific, the oysters at
tach themselves at high tide to the
submerged boughs and roots, and when
the ebb leaves them bare they certain
~ have all the appearance Of actually
growing upon the trees. In fact, it is
q favorite joke with the old residents
to persuade q "greenhorn" that the
standard local dainty is dish OF tree
oysterS lresnly gatnereo from the
bough.
After these moving islets appeared
one of more stationary kind, one
bristling mass of gloomy mangroves
down to the very edge. This was the
famous "Parrot Island" inhabited by
the glorifed spirits OF popular speak
ers, ag;tators, and accomplished school
girls, under the appropriate form OF

are almost as talkative and quite as in
tellectual as they were in their original
shape. just at this point drilling

before.-Cor. NeW York Times.

Mosleln Women.

The Moslem looks upon woman as an
inferior being, unfit to advise him or to
share in his pleasures and sorrows.
The higher the rank of the Tunisian
lady the less she will be seen in the
streets and bazars. As rule only
women Of the lowest order, beggars,
and the wives of the poor country bed
ouins, are seen in the streets, and
even these cover their faces with their
hands whenever they meet a European.
There is a general belief among Euro
peans that the. Koran prescribes that
women should be yelled when they APP
pear in public. This is not the fact.
The custom is not a religious duty, but
q fashion. The chamberlain of an ex-
grand vizier gave me some curious in
formation on this subject. The Pasha's
wife was taken sick with the smallpox.
A European physician was called /;
guarded by two eunuchs he was per-
mitted to enter the chamber of the lady.
Curtains concealed the bed. The ply
stefan insisted upon seeing the face of
the suffering woman, but the eunuch
refused, giving the doctor description
of her face. When the doctor asked
to see her tongue her face was covered
with cloth in which small hole was
cut; through this opening the sick
woman showed her tongue. When the
physician felt her pulse her hands and
arms were covered, and the doctor was
asked to close his eyes while counting
the pulse. Witchcraft and the charla-
tanism Of cunning old women are gen.
orally resorted to when women of the
harems are sick. Many of the ladies
of higher rank live and die without
setting foot in the streets, or changing
their abode, except once, when they
leave the paternal roof to go to the
house of their husband and master.
With the exception of the nearest rela-
-tives, no man ever enters the harem.

ty-fifth New York was at one time sent in
to the swamp at the left. and got position
where its mnskets could be used; but any
infantry soldier who fred bullet at Bis
land was an exception. All day long the
tremendous uproar of artillery went on,
hardly slackening at all. Three gunboats
on the bayou, two ON one side and one on
the other. joined in the fray. In some
obscured the view; in others the scene was
brilliantly lighted up by the flames of
burning sugar-mills, set on fire by the
shells; but there was everywhere noise,
smoke, dust, and excitement. During all
OF this day my company was detached in
support of section of Indiana Parrot
guns, thirty-two Founders. All day long
these brave a,tillerymen kept to their work,
planting their round shot most effectively,
and often jumping up and cheering when
an extra good shot was made. Not man
OF my COMPANY was hurt, though two were
hit by spent fragments of shell. In our
regiment only two were killed and eight
wounded: the loss in the whole division
was small. Save in unusual cases this is
the common result of an artillery battle.
Shot and shell terrify and disconcert; but
as rule the bullet is the great havoc max
er in war.
Another night was passed in darkness,
and with nothing to eat but few hard
tack. A rumor went round that the infan-
Try were to assault ut daylight, and with
this pleasing prospect we slept as only
wearied soldiers can sleep.
The morning brought o surprise. Fear
ful OF being cut off by Growers division,
which had been sent around on boats
through the Grand Lake, the enemy with
drew from their battered Notifications
about midnight, leaving behind several
cannon that our artillerists had dismounted.
The sun was not up when our columns were
marched over the abandoned works, and
began the tormenting aud forced march in
pursuit that lasted nearly week.
My regiment happened TO march directly
through the beautiful grounds of the Bis
land mansion. Statues with heads and
arms Clipped of by cannon-balls were
noticed.
Further on, the little building by the
roadside that had been General Taylors
headquarters was pointed out to me.
looked in and found the floor strewn with
official papers, left in the haste of retreat.
put two of them inside my blouse, as
mementoes, and rejoined the march.
The campaign thus opened lasted till
the middle of July. There was no lack
of fighting, and slaughter enough TO satisfy
the most exacting before the summer was
over; but noisy Bisland that opened it was
| almost bloodless.

general ending was that the whole
